Yes, I believe they would. SJ has battled for years to tear down that non-historic building and construct one of his own design. And SJ is not one to give up, even if he might not see the finished product.

Never give in. Never give up. Persistence is one of the keys to success.

They call a house built less than 100 years ago “historic”? Maybe because it was the project of a robber baron? I’m living in a house built half a century earlier, as were many of the houses on our street, and it rates no such designation. Then again, this is New England, where we actually have history that goes back beyond my grandfather’s memory.
